I just double checked and it wasn't, but I just moved it up five posts, so now the second rank on both is 25 posts.

Who will control the gifting account? What should it be called?

I suggest Greeters(with mods having the password as well, which would be generic) and think it should be called something like "WelcomeNewbies". No one create any account for this please until we finish discussing the idea. This account would need to post a thread, discussing the requirements for getting the forum welcoming gift(posting a newbie thread, reaching 25 posts/second rank). The second someone posts an introduction thread, they would need to be PMed by the account to let them know they have been added to the gifting list and, if they stick around, they can expect a welcoming present from the members.

A bit rough in concept, but I imagine it would run like "Mod of the Month".
